Ultius Writer Interview Questions
& Process

Don't be fooled--this is an essay mill where college students buy essays. They are looking for people who write at an undergraduate level. If you are a college student then you can probably get this job. No, it's not ethical; yes, it's technically legal. This is an essay mill that sells papers to college students, presented as a freelance writing gig. Newspeak. A spade is a spade. As for the interview process, it all happens in one day: You submit an application via Indeed profile. They don't accept resumes. They respond asking you to write a sample paper, which if you're proficient at writing you can bang out in an hour.

The interview process was longer than I thought, but it showed me they were serious and the job was legit (since I found it on Craigslist, I was a little worried). First, I submitted my resume. Then, I had to write a three-page paper about why music is important in childhood education. They really liked my paper and said it was written perfectly. After that, I had a phone interview, which I passed. Then, they sent me a bunch of files about company policy, how the website works, and what they expected from writers. I also had to take little quizzes to check my comprehension after reading each file. Once I finished that, I was officially hired and ready to start working.

The whole interview process took about seven minutes. They asked me a few questions, and then the interviewer told me a lot about Ultius and their mission. You need to schedule the interview yourself using an editable Gmail calendar. It's super important to pick a time that works with your timezone. After that, you wait for a call from their headquarters in Nevada. If they like you and you pass the interview, you have to fill out a W9 form because it's for independent contractors. Then, you need to pass four module tests. Don't worry, the tests are pretty easy if you read the material for about ten minutes per test. Three of the tests have eleven questions, and one has about fifteen questions. This interview is pretty straightforward if you study the questions I'll list below.
